If set up, we would publicise your arrangements in the magazine and on the website, so you could collect passing trade - from the website particularly. People who go to area meetings aren't expected to be Enthusiasts Club members, though the organiser obviously has to. Most people who attend more than a couple of times usually join, though, because there is a lot to be gained from being a member, not least the magazine.
Contact me (you are the only member - Data Protection Act and all that), and I will send contact details for other Club members in the area to form a nucleus. | Cornwall / Devon is good for me - can't stray too far at the moment due to elderly, variably continent dog! I had thought about turning up at one of the route 38 Sunday meets, weather permitting.

Rep Power: 1  | Re: Hi from a newbie in SW UK Looks like the weather will be pretty dire on Sunday. If it is I will come up in the day car, if it's good and dry I will bring the GT. Benjy, fancy a pint and a chat? if so drop me a line and I'll pick you up. If I'm in the merc there will be room to spare if your son wants to tag along. See you all there. |

Rep Power: 1  | Re: Hi from a newbie in SW UK Thanks Andy, Good to see you too and all the cobs in the car park, what will it be like when the weather is good, I don't think I've seen that many together outside of a show before. Like I said on the day, snow in the morning - mmm I'll take the merc - bright sunshine - no I'll take the GT - just as I was getting it out - snow again - I'll take the merc. That decision made, the rest of the day was glorious - how could I have known, Ben why didn't you say you'd put a call in to upstairs? Still nice to meet the owners and chat technical, it has got me thinking I do have some space in the garage.  I even looked on ebay and autotrader to see what there was, that is until the wife caught me  . Ho hum.
The GT will be back at MDA from this weekend for a few alterations and additions, so hopefully by the next meet it will be fully fitted and on top form. See you there.

I'm in St Austell. Cold is much better but still dragging on a bit, thanks!
At least got the GT MOT'ed on wednesday, even if it did break down on me on the way (fuel pump contacts corroded)...
